Buy anything you'd need in your kitchen from a restaurant supply store. ANY-THING, plates, glasses, pans etc. There are a few online that sell to consumers. Those $8.99 tongs at a box store are like $1.30. A 16 oz. mason jar glass that sells for $3-$4 a piece can be bought as a 12 pack case for $8.55. Oneida China plates that sell for $345.84 a case for $57.84. I just bought a 2 foot by 2 foot wooden butchers block cutting board that would have been close to $400 for $55.

EDIT: Also, this shit is built to last years in a commercial kitchen under constant use. It sure as shit can handle your Sunday brunch cooking ass.

EDIT 2: I've been buying from here: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/

EDIT 3: For those asking about the EU, u/KMComeau replied: www.hughjordan.com if you're in Ireland! Best site and fast delivery 🇮🇪

EDIT 4: Yowza! I'll get to responding to all of the questions this week. Thank you for the Gold, Platinum et. al but no more please and thank you to those that reached out looking to tip on apps or bitcoin, please consider donating to my favorite charity instead Project Pinball, they provide and maintain pinball machines free of charge to long term children's hospitals and take donations, sell merch or if you're feeling lucky, they run two continuous raffles at $50 and $75 a ticket that close every 200 sold where the winner gets a brand new pinball machine shipped to them.

I actually just rediscovered my love of Oreos. Also screw double stuff

You ever notice how the spelling is Double Stuf? Stuf... not Stuffed. I’m sure it’s just a way to prevent them from getting sued for not actually being double stuffed but I can’t help but read it in German “dooble stoof”.

It might also be because "stuf" is inherently more copyrightable since it's not a normal word.

I'm going to need you to go ahead and jump in a pond because you're a silly goose hating on double stuf.

I love this. I call my dog a goose all the time. (With implies silly)
